Sliding resistance can be reduced. In addition, each belt conveyor 12a, 1
It is possible to prevent the melon-side fabric from adhering to the belt by using the dusting device 33 disposed upstream of the hoppers 16 of 2b, 12c, and 12d to spray the dust on the belt. Similarly, a dusting device 34 is provided on the upstream side of the pressing position with respect to the running direction (arrow direction) of the endless belt 28 in the pressing means 17, and the endless belt 28 is also provided.
It is possible to prevent the melon-side fabric from adhering to the endless belt 28 when the powder is sprayed on the surface of the.

Thus, the belt conveyors 12a, 12
Each melon side fabric M transferred by b, 12c, 12d
Is slid down on the open / close plate 18 and the chute 19 by its own weight and positioned in each annular frame 14 of the mounting means 2a, and at the same time, the support member in the closed state, that is, the shutter 13a,
It is supported on the upper surface of 13b. That is, as described above, this position corresponds to the position directly above each core material C on the diagonal line that is offset by one pitch for each row of each core material C that is accurately aligned on the belt conveyor 6. There is.

Therefore, the support member, that is, the shutter 13
When a and 13b are opened to the both sides, the push-down member 15 operates at the same time, and the push-down member 15 pushes out the extrusion head 15a.
The shutter 13 is pressed by the positive downward movement of the shutter 13.
The melon-side fabric M on a and 13b can be reliably placed on the core fabric C on the belt conveyor 6. still,
The opening timing of the shutters 13a and 13b is synchronized with the transfer timing of the core material C placed under the shutters 13a and 13b and intermittently transferred on the belt conveyor 6. To achieve this synchronization, a synchronization means using a known sensor or the like is used, but since it is general, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this way, the melon-side fabric M
When the core cloth C covered with is intermittently transferred by the belt conveyor 6, the next step, that is, the encapsulation step 3 is on standby. Next, an encapsulation means 3 for performing an encapsulation step of encapsulating the melon-side fabric M over the upper surface of the core fabric C on the outer periphery of the core fabric C.
A will be described. A plurality of bowl-shaped cups 25 (hereinafter referred to as cups) having open bottoms are provided in correspondence with the core material C continuously arranged at equal intervals in a plurality of rows on the belt conveyor 6 which is a wide conveyor body. It is supported by a plurality of crossbars 24 so that it can be raised and lowered. Each of these cups 25 is elastically biased downward by a spring (not shown).

The both ends of the crossbar 24 are fixed to a pair of frames 21a and 21b arranged in parallel along the upper portions on both sides in the transfer direction of the belt conveyor 6 to form a frame body 20 as a whole. . The frame 20 configured in this manner is supported by known eccentric movement mechanisms 23a and 23b provided on both upper surfaces of the base B supporting the belt conveyor 6 in the transfer direction of the belt conveyor 6. The eccentric movement mechanisms 23a and 23b can perform the eccentric movement in the horizontal plane in a state where the frame body 20 is lowered and the cup material 25 is placed on the core material C on which the melon-side material M is placed.

In this case, the inner shape of the cup 25 supported by the crossbars 24 is a bowl-shaped cup 25 having a different shape for each crossbar 24 as the belt conveyor 6 advances.
It has become. Therefore, the traveling belt conveyor 6
The upper core material C is gradually rounded together with the melon-side material M by the eccentric movement of the plurality of cups 25 put on the core material C. At the final point of time, almost the entire peripheral surface of the core dough C, except for the bottom face, is wrapped with the melon-side dough M, and a beautiful round-shaped wrapped product S (melon bread) is obtained.

Here, a series of processes in which the melon bread is manufactured has been described. However, the core dough C can be replaced with bean paste, and the melon-side dough M is formed of a fermentable dough to form the core dough. If the entire circumference of C is covered, it is also possible to manufacture a bean jam pan. In addition, molding step 1 shown in FIG.
At the bottom of the belt conveyor 5, the spray nozzle 2
6a is arranged toward the surface of the belt 5a. The spray nozzle 26a sprays water in the form of spray onto the surface of the belt, and each core material C placed on the belt 5a is transferred onto the belt 6a of the belt conveyor 6 next.
It is designed to be easily peeled from above.

Similarly, on the upper surface of the belt 6a on the entrance side of the belt conveyor 6, a spray nozzle 26b is arranged toward the upper surface of the belt 6a immediately before the next mounting step 2.
By spraying water in the form of spray from the spray nozzles 26b onto the core cloths C on the belt conveyor 6, the flat melon-side cloths placed on the core cloths C can be surely attached. There is.

Although the present invention has been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and various other modifications can be made without departing from the essence thereof. . For example, in this embodiment, the placing means 2a for covering the core material C on the conveyor 6 with the flat melon-side material M
The shutters 13a and 13b are arranged obliquely with respect to the transfer direction of the belt conveyor 6, and the shutters are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the transfer direction of the belt conveyor 6 and the flattening means 4a is arranged on the belt. It is also possible to provide them in parallel on the conveyor 6 to form a two-story structure.

Further, the belt conveyor for transferring the core material C has a structure in which two belt conveyors are connected in series, but it goes without saying that it can be composed of only one belt conveyor. In this case, the cup 8a for centering that corrects the positional deviation that occurs when the core material C is transferred onto the belt conveyor 6 can be omitted. Further, in the specification, the term melon bread is used, but this is an exemplification, and is meant to substantially consist of a core material and an outer material covering the core material.
